 “I would like to use dance as a positive influence because it’s not every day you see a boy dancing.”

How does dance have a positive impact on your life?

It makes a positive impact because dance is my escape. When I’m having a bad day, I look forward to just expressing how I feel and coming to my studio and let it be free!

How do you want to use dance to be a positive influence on your community?

I would like to use dance as a positive influence because it’s not every day you see a boy dancing. I want to show my community that you can do anything and be whatever you want.
